* ''Literature/TheStarloreLegacy'': [[spoiler:Rivet, by the time ''OATH'' rolls around. Early on, Brae asks her father why he still keeps their three ancient household droids around. Turns out one of them is actually Rivet, and he's just as loyal a defender and as awesome a rescuer as he was millennia ago]].

* ''Series/TheTwilightZone1959'': In "[[Recap/TheTwilightZoneS5E122Steel Steel]]", a down-on-his-luck boxer named Steel Kelly lives in an age when all boxing is done by prizefighting robots. His old Mark 2 boxer-bot Battling Maxo is no match for the new Mark 7s that litter the profession, but darn it, the Mark 3 is ''his'' robot. [[spoiler:When his robot malfunctions, he enters the ring himself pretending to be a robot. This does not end well for him.]] This episode was based on a short story by Creator/RichardMatheson, which was loosely adapted into ''Film/RealSteel'' several decades later.
